A water taxi approaches the plaza at Chicago's Trump Tower. Tiers of stairs at the plaza create a theater-like space with views of the Chicago River and the Michigan Avenue Bridge. A dog park, also part of the plaza and located on city-owned land at the end of Rush Street, is at upper left, in shadow.
